She basically sexes her opponants to death XD I know, which is why she might've fought alongside Sparda at one point and maybe that was enough for him to spare her and turn her into a Gatekeeper instead of turning her into mincemeat. Maybe all the other Gatekeepers were chosen that way. It can't be disproved because there's literally no material to do it.

Then there's the thing about Phantom and Griffon. They clearly knew Sparda so it's possible they fought against him. They even speculate that Dante is as powerful as or may be more powerful than Sparda but they aren't really sure. I don't believe Sparda was weaker than these two so he can't finish them off. Did he show mercy? Were they comrades at one point? These are some intereresting questions that can be answered by a game, cinematic movie, anime series or whichever Capcom decides to release as canon.
